ELI5, Why do solids dissolve better in hot liquids, but gasses dissolve better in cold liquids?
In: 4
The *very* short answer is that heat pushes things from a solid state to a liquid state, and from a liquid state to a gas.
Adding heat to a solid makes it a little bit more willing to become part of a liquid solution. Adding heat to a gas makes it a little bit less willing to become part of a liquid solution.
